Job Description
You’re a Veterinary Surgeon who wants more than just another rota.
You want time to do the job properly — 20-minute consults, not rushed appointments. You want a genuine balance between consulting and surgery. You want to work somewhere that values continuity of care, keeps things in-house, and actually knows its clients.
And yes — work-life balance matters to you.
If that sounds familiar, keep reading.
The Role We’re working with a well-established, independent veterinary practice just outside Cardiff, rooted in its local South Wales community for over a decade. This is a role where compassion, quality care, and teamwork genuinely come first.
You’ll be joining a small, close-knit team of Vets, RVNs, and receptionists who create a real family feel — supportive, approachable, and proud of the difference they make every day.
